Billy Ray 'So Sad' About Miley Cyrus' Bong Video

12/11/2010 10:45:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Billy Ray Cyrus caught wind of Miley Cyrus' bong scandal and turned to his Twitter fans for emotional support.

"Sorry guys. I had no idea. Just saw this stuff for the first time myself. I'm so sad. There is much beyond my control right now," he wrote on Twitter.

A video obtained by TMZ shows the 'Hannah Montana' star taking hits from a bong that was reportedly filled with a natural herb called salvia, which when smoked has psychedelic qualities. Possession of salvia is currently legal in California. The video was reportedly taken five days after Miley turned 18.

According to the report, the video was shot by one of Miley's friends and it is very possible that someone stole or copied the video from that person's camera. The video begins with Cyrus taking a hit from the large bong and immediately begins to feel the effects of the drug. Soon, she's seeing things that aren't there, including her ex-boyfriend Liam Hemsworth.

Robert Pattinson Auctions Himself—for How Much?

So, Twi-Hards. It's time to put your money where your bitchin' mouth is.

How much would you pay to meet Robert Pattinson?

Kristen Stewart's main man was auctioned up for a Breaking Dawn meet and greet, and sold for...

Only $80,000!

One lucky fan (with megarich parents) won a trip to travel to Vancouver with three friends, stay at the Four Seasons, and then head to the über-secret B.D. set where Rob will play host.

The prize was offered on Charity Buzz to raise funds for the GO Campaign, a nonprofit group that supports grassroots projects for orphans and vulnerable children globally.

Too adorbs!

For that amount of money, Kristen better come with and be her charming girlfriend self.

Really though, how much do you think it would have went for if Stewart's cute butt was the one up for auction?

Google Nexus S review

12/11/2010 10:43:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


It can be difficult to review a phone like Google's Nexus S in a world already populated by so many outstanding Android devices. Not only does the manufacturer of this phone make a series of handsets that are all essentially the same (the Galaxy S line), but countless other OEMs are cranking away on hardware for the platform. Of course, the Nexus S is a decidedly different phone altogether. Picking up where the company's Nexus One left off, the S continues Google's legacy of creating standalone, "pure Android" phone experiences, seemingly aimed less at the mainstream and more towards developers. Unlike the failed experiment of the Nexus One, Google appears to be taking a more realistic approach to the S; the phone will be sold through Best Buy (and Carphone Warehouse across the pond), which suggests that the company has bigger plans for this device.

And what a device it is -- the Nexus S boasts a 1GHz Hummingbird CPU, 512MB of RAM, a 4-inch, 800 x 480 curved Super AMOLED display (dubbed the Contour Display), 16GB of storage, a 5 megapixel rear and VGA front-facing camera, and near field communication capabilities. But hardware is only half the story here -- the big news is that the Nexus S showcases the next major evolution of the Android OS, namely, Gingerbread (or version 2.3). The update comes with a slew of new features alongside some UI improvements that show Google isn't slowing down when it comes to pushing its mobile operating system forward. So is the Nexus S a real standout in the Android world, or is it more of the "me too" tech we've seen lately? Read on after the break for the full review to find out!

iPad Mini rumors surface again

12/11/2010 10:37:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments

Just a few days after reports of iPad 2 rumors flooded the blogosphere, Reuters is stoking the fires with a story that says Apple is "preparing new iPads," as in plural. And one of those models, according to the usual anonymous supply chain sources, is "about half the size of the current tablet computer, and will include front- and back-mounted cameras" for Apple's FaceTime video-conferencing app.

Aside from the cameras, one source claimed the new iPad "would be slimmer, lighter, and have a better-resolution display than the first iPad."

Duh. None of that's new info--or particularly revealing (of course, the new iPad is going to be slimmer and have a better screen, right?). But it's interesting that we continue to hear chatter about Apple having a smaller iPad up its sleeve. Back in October, Steve Jobs famously scoffed at the notion of a 7-inch iPad, insisting the screen would be "too small to express the software." Since then, Barnes & Noble has released the $250 7-inch Nook Color and several other Android-powered 7-inch tablets have hit the market or will soon.

As part of its story, Reuters reporters quoted Steven Tseng, an analyst at RBS in Taipei, who said, "It makes sense for these suppliers to begin delivering their goods in February. I think Steve Jobs will announce the new product in January, and we should see the new product hitting shops in about April."

Yes, the iPad was announced on January 27, 2010, but when Jobs announced it there wasn't another iPad on the market to clear out of the channel. So, we're not sure why Jobs would unveil a new iPad--or perhaps iPads--a good two months before they were to go on sale. A few weeks maybe, but two months, probably not.

In any case, that's the latest iPad intel out of Asia. Just something to consider while you're standing in line at your local Apple Store buying an iPad this holiday season.

Bam! Kapow! Explodey New Thor Trailer Is Here!

12/11/2010 10:37:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , 0 Comments


Get ready to duck!

The newest trailer for Thor is here, starring Chris Hemsworth as the Norse god and Natalie Portman as his lady friend, and stuff is seriously blowing up left and right!

They don't explain why, but...

We see Thor's father (Anthony Hopkins) strip him of his godlike powers and trusty hammer, and banish him to Earth. And from the sound of it, that's a pretty bad punishment. "Oh no, this is Earth, isn't it," he asks upon his arrival.

Fortunately, Portman is there to look after this strange new guy who literally fell out of the sky. And it can't all be bad. He may be stripped of his powers, but he hasn't lost his ability to beat up highly trained commandos...something we see him do a lot of.

Hopefully those abilities will come in handy when he takes on the giant robot blowing everything up with its death ray. (Yes, there's a giant robot that's blowing everything up with its death ray! They had those in Norse mythology, right?)

Check out the trailer and tell us what you think. Thor hits theaters May 6.

Taylor Momsen: A Promoter of Masturbation

12/11/2010 10:36:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Don't look at us. She said it. And because Taylor Momsen is so edgy and cool, she can talk about masturbating a lot and it makes her awesome. Deal.

In an interview with The Guardian (UK), Taylor said unequivocally that “I’m a promoter of masturbation. Don’t sleep around ... learn yourself first!"

"Guys do, but girls don’t. And that’s why girls have so many bad experiences. But you can know your body, know yourself, know what feels good."

"You don’t have to give yourself away just to have sexual relevance," she adds.

"I don’t think sex is something people should be afraid of. It’s part of human nature. I don’t think it should be shameful, particularly for girls and young girls.”

The Pretty Reckless singer may look back on this and wish she'd shut her yap (that or she'll blame her parents like usual), but doesn't make a terrible point.

Hold out, don't put out, girls. There are alternatives that don't talk back.

Motorola's new logo: it's red

12/11/2010 10:35:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments


Been wondering about what impact Motorola's January split into two distinct entities will have on your humble consumption of consumer electronics? Well, after attending Moto's big Christmas do in London, we seem to have uncovered one of the biggies: the Droid maker is switching to a crimson new brand identity from the start of the new year. They won't tell us much more than that, but we can only surmise that the slight chromatic deviation will be in an effort to distinguish between the Mobility arm, which will make all the pocketable things we know and love, and the Solutions group in charge of the less glamorous business hardware. We're sure there'll be some reshuffling of middle management and other structural reorganizations taking place, but we've got the big story right here: the stationery, it is a-changing.

Android dominates Verizon smartphone sales; BlackBerry tanks

12/11/2010 10:34:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments


Investment research firm ITG has been investigating the sales figures from Verizon Wireless and it has come up with a pretty interesting find: the vast majority of smartphones sold by Verizon Wireless are Android handsets. That fact, while pertinent, is not all that shocking. What is shocking is this: in October of 2009, BlackBerrys accounted for 93% of Verizon Wireless’ smartphone sales. Just over one year later, in November of 2010, Android accounted for 80% of Verizon Wireless’ smartphone sales and BlackBerry’s share comes in at under 20%. How did Android go from not having a single handset in Verizon’s lineup in October of 2009 to sales domination eleven months later? You can credit Verizon’s fierce marketing blitz around the devices, consumer demand for more media centric devices with bigger screens, or RIM’s slow, measured approach with hardware. Whatever you want to credit or blame, those numbers are staggering and should not be ignored.

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart Get Romantic in Louisiana

12/11/2010 02:45:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Onscreen lovebirds Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are making no secret of their real-life romance while shooting the latest Twilight installment.

The pair, along with the rest of the film's cast, are now filming Breaking Dawn in Baton Rouge, La., after a stop in Brazil, and have been seen getting cozy around the southern city.

Pattinson, 24 and Stewart, 20 recently joined about two dozen other cast members for a private dinner at Fleming's Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar, but seemed to only have eyes for one another.

"Kristen and Rob were very couple-like," a restaurant source tells PEOPLE. "There was a lot of hand-holding, sitting next to each other. Everyone was talking around the room, but Kristen and Rob were just talking to each other, not really into the conversations everyone else was having."

At another outing to Cadillac Café, a strip-mall karaoke bar less than a mile from the studio where shooting is taking place, the two were spotted looking "very much a couple," says an onlooker.

"I mean, they weren't slobbering all over each other … but they sure looked like a couple and were talking with each other like a couple," the onlooker says. "They [seem like] a couple in love."

Miley Cyrus Caught Taking Bong Hits of Salvia: 'Is It Me Tripping?'

It's been a year peppered with scandal for Miley Cyrus. She did a bit of underage drinking and, of course, there's been a near constant uproar over her provocative choices in stage attire. Now comes a fresh scandal, and this one involves a big old bong.

A video obtained by TMZ shows the 'Hannah Montana' star taking hits from a bong that was reportedly filled with a natural herb called salvia, which when smoked has psychedelic qualities. Possession of salvia is currently legal in California. The video was reportedly taken five days after Miley turned 18.
